The Advance, of Waco, Texas, con-
tinues to appear regularly and is as

Republican papers claim that the
statistics in Cleveland's speeches are
taken from the American encyclopedia.
Will the able editors kindly explain
whence they derive the startling mass
es of figures which they occasionally
hurl at their dumbfounded readers
Or do they esteem it Il virtue to quote
the census report and crime to pa
tronize the encyclopedia Express.

II IS stated that a fcrcible representation OF the
Shortcomings OF the present administration OF the
schools in the District Is 10 be made before the
senate District committee. The Old system, under
which the school board discussed in open meeting
every measure OF importance to the taxpayers, at
least had the effect OF avoiding serious scandals,
for In the freedom OF speech which prevailed, any
unpleasant truth that existed could scarcely fail
To be brought into the foreground by some men,
Der- Under the new system, however the ulti-
mate decision OF nearly every question rests with
one person. the superintendent. The Commission
ers are unable TO Scrutinze details and the func-
tons OF the trustees are advisory only. Some OF
the fruits OF the new diSpenSation, it is charged,
have been the unSetthng or the schedule OF
teachers salaries by practically abrogating the
rule under which length OF service and professional
success settled the question OF pay, and substitut
ing the good will OF the superintendent therefor;
the favor1ng OF the High school grades at the ex-
penSe of the lower ones; larger outlay Tor super
vision; the needless appropriation OF SchoolroOm
space for reception room aud Office purposes and
extravaganza IN printing educational compila-
tons for public distribution.
There Is Also Just now, complaint OF still
more disagreebe sort, concerning the contract
awarded 10 an Out-Of-town BOOKSELLER for furnish
ing textbooks TO the Washington schools. III the
accusation Is true the proposal on which the con-
tract was let was what Is technically known as
an unbalanced bid" That is. the books which
were recognized staples and likely To be called
for In large numbers, were quoted ut unwarrant-
ably high prices, while those which would have to
be furnished only rarely Were appraised far
enough below their real value reduce the asgre-
gate bid 70 a lower figure than that OF any bidder
In good faith. But, according TO the remonstrance
the wrong did not cease here; for, when a requi-
sition for some OF these more valuable books was
made upon the contractor, 1t was not houored.
IL Is 20 be hoped that these charges will be
sfted 10 the bottom. and the facts underlying
them spread upon the record. It is worth noting
however, that the mere circumstance that they
have been sooerly made, and with such particu-
larity, is sufficient proof OF the dangers of the
existing system II a school board, in open ses-
sion, had had unbalanced bid before il for dis
cGss.on, somebody would PROFESSIONALLY have
Ventilated Its defects, and a means would have
been found OF dLspOsng VI il without cost TO tax
payers Or disparagement TO the bidders I'm good
faith

Multiplying Small Farms.

According to official data the in-
crease in the number of farms in the
United States during the past six
years has been about one million, and
the total number at present is esti-
mated at five million. Most of the in-
crease has resulted from divisions Of
large estates in the South. This has
been going on ever since the war. In
South Carolina, for example, the av-
erage size of farms in 1860 was 1888
acres, and in 1880 only 143 acres. The
average farm in Texas in 1860 contained
sol acres. and in 1880 it had been re-
duced in size to POS acres The same
tendency is noticed, although to a less
degree, in New York and Pennsyl-
vania. In these States twenty-seven
years ago farms contained on the av-
erage 100 and 100 acres respectively.
In 1880 their average size was SO and
SO acres. Such increase really means
increase in aggregate wealth. 1t
means increase in labor which is
wealth, and it means independence
and self-reliancc. -Di1ie Farmer.
